tab.

Before you begin

Role required: scrum_admin, scrum_master, or scrum_sprint_planner

You must be a member of an agile group to access the Sprint
Planning tab.

Note: You can perform only a specific set of actions in the Sprint
Planning tab based on the role that is assigned to you. See Agile
Development User Roles for more
information.

Procedure

Navigate to Agile Development > Agile Board.

Select the Sprint Planning tab.

From the choice list at the top left corner, select an assignment group for
which you want to plan the sprint activities. The choice list displays all the
teams to which you are added as a group member. The default assignment group is
the team you have selected earlier or the first team in which you were added as
a group member.

To create a sprint, use either of the following options:

Option

Description

From the Sprint Planning tab

Using this option, only a single sprint is created at one time.

Click Create Sprint.

Specify the required details in the sprint form and click
Submit.

From Group Form

Using this option, a single or multiple sprints can be created at
one time.

Navigate to Agile Development > Groups.

Select the assignment group and click Create
Sprints.

Note: If all groups follow the same
sprint schedule, sprints can be generated for all groups.
For generating sprints for multiple groups at once, select
the required groups and click Create
Sprints.

In the form, specify the number of sprints to be created.

Click Submit.

Navigate to Agile Development > Agile Board > Sprint Planning.

Select the assignment group.

Sprints display stories in the form of a list. If a sprint contains more than
50 stories, then pagination control appears at the bottom of the list enabling
you to navigate to the previous, next, first, or last page in the list.

To add a story to the backlog:

Click Create Story.

Specify the required details in the story form and click
Submit. The story appears at the bottom of
the backlog. On clicking an existing story number, a story form appears
in which you can edit the story details. If you have read-only access,
you can open the story form but cannot edit the story details.

To add a story to the backlog or a sprint and simultaneously decide its order
of implementation, perform these steps:

Point to a story in the backlog or a sprint.

Click Create Story.

Specify the required details in the story form and click
Submit. The story is created beneath the
story that was selected in the backlog or a sprint.

To create a theme, click Create Theme.

To create an epic, click Create Epic.

The Backlog section in a list displays all the active stories assigned to the
team, but not assigned to any sprint. Use either of the following options to
arrange stories:

Action

Description

Using the drag feature

This option can be used to move stories within the backlog, move
stories from the backlog to any sprint, or move stories from one sprint
to another.

If the backlog contains more than 50 stories, then pagination control appears
at the bottom of the list enabling you to navigate to the previous, next, first,
or last pages in the list.

Rearranging stories in the backlog changes the ranking of stories. Ranks are
stored in the global_rank column in the Story [rm_story] table. When you move a
story within a backlog, its rank changes relative to the stories within the same
backlog. Thus, if the story exists in some other backlog, its ranking might
change but position in the backlog would remain the same.

To start a sprint, click Start that appears at right
corner of the first or top sprint. Sprint Board
appears.

To complete a sprint, click Complete Sprint that appears
at right corner of the first or top sprint. A dialog box appears indicating the
number of completed and incomplete stories in the sprint.

Move incomplete stories, if any, to the backlog or a future
sprint.

Click Complete. The sprint disappears from the
Sprint Planning tab and appears in the Sprint
list as complete.
